Maya was shut (off season) However that did not spoil the trip and it was beautiful in the long tail boats *only comment I would say is this trip may be difficult for anyone with mobility issues due to how you transfer on and off the boat. Getting off at the end is a high step onto a tyre and pull up onto the side”

Our phone was about to run out of battery and we wanted to ask for a little charge, but they refused and were not kind. The lady in the picture helped immediately, smiled, and was kind. She gave us her own power bank. Perhaps the others should not be dealing with customers if it is such a burden for them…”

As soon as we boarded the boat, we were quickly cast off and told that it was very windy and that we would not be able to sail to certain destinations on the tour. There we were, trapped on the boat for 8 hours in wind gusts of 57km/h and total swell. The tour was a disaster, a real rip-off! At least the DJ was good, playing the Titanic song to match the situation.”

Era un catamarano e non uno yacht. Igiene zero, poltrone sporche. Insomma, tanto tempo sprecato con spiegazioni che potevano essere fatte durante il tragitto.”
